GlossaryMicrovascular System

network of tiny blood vessels facilitating nutrient and waste exchange

The microvascular system refers to the network of tiny blood vessels, including capillaries, arterioles, and venules, that are responsible for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and tissues. This system plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue health and function, and its impairment can lead to various medical conditions, including those affecting hair growth and skin health.
